Clontarf is a north coastal market with strong demand and quick sale-agreed times, and commission near the bottom of the national range.

The short answer
Clontarf trades in the north-coastal band at 1% to 1.35% plus VAT. Demand is strong and properties typically go sale-agreed quickly, which weakens any agent’s case for the top of that band.
Seafront and seafront-adjacent property is a market of its own. If yours has an outlook, ask how the agent intends to photograph and market it rather than accepting it as a line in the description.
Red-brick period stock and later development behave differently. Check that the comparables used actually match your property type.

Which agent suits you depends more on whether they sell this kind of property, in this area, than on the fee they quote. Ask any agent what they have sold recently in Clontarf and who the buyers were — a real answer comes with examples.
Agents working in Clontarf generally cover the surrounding area too: Marino, Raheny, Howth, Fairview. If your property sits between two of these, say so when you request a quote — it affects which agents are worth hearing from.
